Oops, almost forgot again. So busy! Yeah, go ahead with the astrology stuff. From now on, I'd say you know what you're doing and don't need me to check over things, so feel free to proceed however you feel best. I will likely not be around enough to effectively help/approve things anyway.
Thanks again,
Dean

I'd say it has to be in there...it's a pixies song that's being played by FB & the Cs, right? Velvety, e.g., Gouge on the Nadine single.
just my 2 ¢.

Dave, Dean and Jim.
Songs not in the db: like when a pixies song (gouge away) is a b-side, these need adding or ep's/singles/whatever are not complete.
Honeycomb: Also needs adding, and it might be nice to cover these songs while the buzz is still about for it. A lot of the art work is scanned in and there's a lot of interviews and reviews and choice quotes on the site in various places that could do with collating. I'm happy to start the threads again, and gather the stuff but I can't add songs/albums (or just don't know how)
Section: did we dismiss having a sub section in baby thats art for the song-db threads? I only suggest it because it might be nice to have them as an ongoing thing, that way when someone stumbles across something in a couple of months time they aren't digging around the forum trying to find the right thread. I understand if this is a lot of hassle though.
Thanks.

I started with the honeycomb threads anyway before all the information in all the articles posted started to slip into obscurity (or page 4 of frank black making noise heh) the lyrics have been posted from moro directly out of the japanese cd booklet, all but honeycomb which I posted out of the uk booklet.
So, at least they're done for whenever the album gets added.

Tre, did Jim get around to adding those things yet? He was having some troubles logging in and I'm not sure if Dave got that sorted or not.

Dave: There is still a seeming problem with disappearing notes.
Everyone: I've been working on version 2 of the database. Bearing in mind that this is BETA right now, i.e. still a work in progress, please take a look, let me know what you think, and by all means try to find problems (then let me know).
http://www.frankblack.net/songs/db3beta.asp
Notes:
Not sure I like that search there, but not decided where to put it yet. I'm trying below the menu but without much success so far. Thoughts?
Also, as it becomes quite obvious when viewing this way, we are still missing a lot of images for promos and singles/eps so please if you have one in your collection, scan it, get a friend to, send it to me, whatever, but lets get the image catalogue full.
Tre will be the new "Send your comments" to person once we get her set up next month.
Now I've spent my ten hours on this this Saturday, I'm done. I'll get to adding some more lyrics next week.

It's looking good though, still checking it out but first impressions are great, way way *way* better than before. |

| also, I remember the images for the nadine single being posted in the db thread but the image from cooking vinyl looks to be down and the other one looks... a little rough. I don't have scanner access sadly or I'd do it. |

Hey Tre, it's the notes for SMYT again. I'm not sure if it's a db thing or if Jim doesn't like it, because it saved for a while, but it's gone now. But something's going on there. I'm presuming you were okay with having the press release on the page and didn't remove it?
Yeah, the way that it's grabbing images is to look at the release and not the album (if that makes sense to you), so there will probably be a few that don't show up on the thumbnails that do show up on the release details page. I'll go through and add the link in there too...

I've kind of done a list of the ones that are in the release but not on the thumbnail in your class project thread there, oops. Trying to be helpful!
Nope, I was more than fine with the SMYT press release (I did add it a good six or so times) I wonder what is going on with it? |

hey...I'm happy happy that the pixies albums are being added to the song db!
is there anyway you could separate the diff. folks he's recorded with?
e.g.:
pixies
blah
blah
blah
frank black
blah
blah
blah
blah
fb + Cs
know what i mean? just an idea... |

Yeah, that's already in the plans, will be gone as soon as we make the move to our new version (which I've ironed most of the kinks out of but am still not quite ready to release yet... I still have to get a song browsing mode implemented and while I dislike the way it is set up now, I haven't really come up with anything better so I'm kinda' stumped.
I'm thinking the left side will remain navigation and the right side will list the songs. But do I list by album, alphabetically, do I put album art in there, doesn't sorting by album defeat the purpose of having a song browse mode, etc etc...
Tobafett, unfortunately the DB was never designed to separate it that way so... not any way I've come up with yet.

Song DB v.3 is excellent. Look forward to it being linked off the main page.
Is there a reason there are no listings of Thalassocracy on The Black Sessions? Is that only on an "unofficial" copy or something?

Thanks! It's almost ready to go, but I'm waiting for a couple things yet.
One is a bio for our db admin so I can link to her.
The other is the completion of the Pixies albums.
Not sure on Thalassocracy on the Black Sessions, will try to look tonight.

oops, that's me right...
Sorry the pixies albums are taking longer than expected, getting the cat/release details is proving the biggest bind. I'll have a push over the next couple of days. Most of the songs are in there (just B sides to go). I'll do some now.

I would like to find a way to participate more in the fb.net kingdom. I am doing already what I can, Collecting shows, buying the commercial albums, I even had plans to record the oct 30 show in cleveland which house of blues promptly put the squash on. Perhaps someone could give me an assignment of sorts. I am willing to help out. Also... If I can still get ahold of them someone has promised me backstage to frank black, If there is anything you want me to ask him in the name of fbnet... I am willing... Please let me know what I could possibly do to help out a little more than just the average fan, because I am a little more than just the average fan
...And if I'm right, the urban plight is not the problem. |

Well, that's great! We're always looking for help. I guess let me know if there's anything specific you're interested in. Otherwise, if you want a short assignment for now, you can go through either Fool the World or Doolittle and add comments/quotes to the db. This is open to anyone interested, of course, though if there are others out there who'd be interested in helping, let us know so that we can divide and conquer without duplicating work.
Make sure you cite your reference material properly so it can easily be double-checked/approved. For example:
"The first [demo tape] that was passed around probably had 'I'm Amazed,' 'Brick is Red.' That's probably it, maybe one, two other ones."
- Kim Deal, "Fool the World: The Oral History of a Band Called Pixies" (US Edition, Pg. 28)

Well, whatever, Doolittle. Find quotes from articles, research songs, whatever. If there's something else you'd rather tackle, that's cool. Check out the site and look for deficient parts you'd be interested in helping with.
I thought we had given over the FAQ to someone but I haven't heard hide nor hair since.

I guess my OCD is acting up....
I was just looking around in the song DB and, in LEVITATE ME, the lyrics show 'please RUN over me' but for some reason I think it should be 'please FAWN over me.' Could someone check on that? |

Well, I was trying to show my 13 yr old sister sing for joy's lyrics as we listened to the song, and I/we counted 7 different mistakes. so I did a database search on DOOLITTLE and got zero results, which means, yes, Mr. Grieves is not even in there, I think my chosen profession might be lyric proofer. I am willing to listen with a fine toothed comb and enter and reenter till we get it right. I guess this is where I would put myself if I had a choice about it.
As far as getting the corrections to you, I need to know how and where... do I submit them in the comments section below the lyrics? here in this thread? do you have a password based thing that lets me straight out edit those pages? Will I get special FB clearance? Will Starmekitten even let me help her out here? (I Hear she's a busy busy gal lately)
I am still also willing to go out and buy doolittle or fool the world which I need to do anyway, don't know how long til I can do that, but when and as i do yeah, i could put all the quotes in.
...And since I'm wrong, the urban plight is not the problem. |
